Chapter 25 – The Firebolt and Danger!
It was early April, Lee was heading outside to do her homework as it was such a lovely day.
"Lee!" Harry called, Lee turned and smiled. Her eyes lit up, Harry was carrying his Firebolt, Ron was right behind him. Lee brushed her fringe away from her face, the boys stopped, looking shocked.
"So, you do have two eyes." Ron stated, Lee laughed and nodded.
"Of course, doesn't everyone?" Lee smiled. "Anyway, you got your firebolt back."
"Yeah, not cursed after all." Harry grinned. "Ron and I are about to give it a test fly. Want to come along?"
"Sure." Lee nodded, she followed her friends to the empty Quidditch pitch. Ron and Lee cheered as Harry flew up on his new broom, the speed was incredible. "No one will beat Gryffindor with that broom!"
"I know." Ron said, watching Harry flying in wonder.
"Why aren't you on the team?" Lee asked him
"Oh, erm..Playing Quidditch is Harry's thing, not mine.
"Why can't it be your thing too? You obviously really enjoy it." Lee told him
"Um." Ron seemed to ponder her words as Harry landed near them.
"Gryffindor have bagged the match against Ravenclaw." Lee told Harry.
"Completely. Come on Ron, we should try and get our History of magic homework done, it's due in tomorrow." Harry said
"Oh...yeah, I forgot about that." Ron sighed.
"I could lend you guys a hand, I've already done it." Lee looked at them as they walked towards the castle.
"Really? You're the best Lee!" Ron smiled, Lee blushed. Harry chuckled to himself.
The day of the Ravenclaw v Gryffindor match arrived quickly. Lee walked with Ron down to the Quidditch pitch.
"I'm so excited!" Lee smiled happily. "It's going to be the best match ever!"
"Can't beat that match in second year against Hufflepuff." Ron said
"You mean that one that lasted 5 minutes? That was pretty awesome too." Lee nodded, Ron began to talk about the best match of his favourite Quidditch team, The Chudley Cannons.
Thanks to Harry's firebolt, the match didn't last long. Lee Jordan, the commentator, wouldn't shut up about sharing information about the firebolt. The scary part of the match was when three Dementors swopped down on Harry just as he near the snitch. Lee watched as Harry cast a quick Patronus before catching the snitching the snitch and winning the game. The best part in Lee's opinion, was Professor McGonagal's reaction to discovering the Dementors were actually four slytherins on broom sticks.
Two day's later, a terrible feeling of Fear spread through Hogwarts like wild fire. Sirius Black had got into Gryffindor Common room and had attacked Ron. Ron also lost Scabbers, so he was down, Lee didn't know how to cheer him up. But, she came up with an idea, she sent Orson off to her aunt's with a request that she brought and sent Orson back with a chocolate rabbit. Once she got it, Lee wrote a quick note.
Dear Ron, I am not sure how to cheer you up. I know you like chocolate frogs, but here is what I think is a muggle version of it. Not as interesting as Chocolate Frogs, But I hope you like it. Lee.
She then sent Orson off with the not and the rabbit to Ron, A few minutes later, Orson returned with a reply.
Lee, it's great. It is just like a chocolate frog, but it isn;t a frog and it doesn't move. It tastes great though. Thanks.
Lee smiled, making a note for Ron's next birthday and Christmas present.
